The Second Awakening of Christa Klages Page #3

that this world offers

the possibility of salvation,

and that we are called to put

our faith in its coming to pass.

Your sermon was

truly inspiring today, sir.

- Truly inspiring...

- Can you give me a hand?

Thanks.

I'll lock up today.

You may go now.

- What've you been doing over 6 years.

- I've been here the whole time.

Haven't there been any changes

in your life since then?

Time passes very slowly

out here.

It passes fast

for children.

all of childhood.

If they miss something,

they can never make it up.

We're the only

positive thing

some of our kids

have ever had.

Please,

I'm not changing my mind.

And what about me?

I made that place

what it is.

I invested all my energy,

all my time and ideas in it.

I'm not going to let them

take it away.

Pastor Grawe!

I need some more aspirin.

And have you got

hair coloring?

Blonde, not too light,

please.

It's for my mother.

She's started dying her hair.

Why not? I'm only 20

and I dye mine already, too.

- I'll cut yours afterwards.

- Oh, no thanks.

- I always cut my husband's.

- Your husband?

Most girls get married

before they see the light.

It looks awful.

Sorry, I'm not

too good at this.

You've really never had

any doubts?

Some things

you just don't doubt.

It's a good feeling

to carry on.

My father was a pastor.

So was my grandfather.

So you followed

family tradition.

Some things aren't meaningful

unless they're carried on.

What my grandfather did

takes on meaning through me.

Doubts or no.

If I thought like you

I'd still be a housewife.

Like my grandmother

and my mother.

- Doubts or no doubts.

- Exactly.

Clergymen are nothing

but figures of fun nowadays.

- One more reason to be one.

- To be a martyr, you mean!

Playing the martyr

has its good sides.

Why aren't you married?

A real pastor

needs a pastor's wife.

The women I like can't imagine

being married to a pastor.

Like you.

I like you.

You still can go back.

Both of you.

You have to give

some people wings.

Others need lead

in their boots...

I wrote something in it.

We'll be seeing

each other again.

Interesting job, pastor.

Carries a lot

of prestige, too.

Number 3 on the list.

Right after professor and doctor.

Come on, admit you had

a great time talking to him.

You tell me I talk too much,

and gab with him for hours.

'Sleep, dim eyes.'

You never talk to me

about that stuff.

We talk about other stuff.

Yeah, you went to school

and so did he.

And he gives you poems.

Don't be stupid.

I haven't read poetry

for so long.

And these are really beautiful.

Want to hear one?

No, thanks. I don't need

my soul massaged.

When I say get down,

get down.

Are you crazy?
